SPEC OMP®2012

The SPEC OMP®2012 benchmark is designed
for measuring performance using applications based on the OpenMP 3.1 standard for
shared-memory parallel processing. The benchmark also includes an optional metric
which includes power measurement.

The benchmark includes 14 scientific and engineering application
codes, covering everything from computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to
molecular modeling to image manipulation. The optional energy consumption
measurements are based on the SPEC Power
and Performance Benchmark Methodology, which provides details on how to
integrate a power metric into standardized benchmarks.

With the release of this benchmark, the SPEC OMP®2001
benchmark has been retired and results for that benchmark were no longer accepted
afer January 16, 2013. After that date, only SPEC OMP®2012
benchmark result submissions will be accepted.
